Love Is Blind fans noticed Hannah’s weight loss since she’s been on the show and have been wondering what her exact journey is. The reality star lost 75 lbs and is not hiding about how she changed her body.
Hannah got engaged to Nick after a tumultuous love triangle with Leo. However, when they exited The Pods together, they figured out that their life wasn’t so magical. “Right now, you know that this is not going to work. We’re not gonna get married,” Hannah tells Nick in episode 10, and when she asks him how he feels, he says, “I thought I was good enough for you and I was wrong the whole time.” “I think I’m just done trying,” Hannah replied, and they told each other they love each other and hugged before going their separate ways.

After the show aired, Hannah was very candid about her weight loss journey to Us Weekly. “It’s a lot [about] feeling better about myself and a little bit of revenge,” she recounted. “I think when you watch the show, I was already on a journey. I’ve always struggled with my weight, my entire life. Whether I was skinny or whether I was heavier, I just had problems. I like to eat. I like to binge eat. I don’t like working out. During COVID, I gained a lot of weight, like a lot of people did. I was just feeling sorry for myself and never did anything about it, essentially.”
How did Love Is Blind’s Hannah lose weight?
Hannah revealed that she went through several different scenarios to lose weight over the past couple of years. “I got down to 175 before the show. And I had gotten liposuction too, maybe, a year [or] a year and a half before the show on my lower abdomen, my back and my neck, thinking, ‘These are things that I don’t like, let’s change them,’” Hannah told Us. “And then after the show, I was just like, ‘OK, I do love myself, but I do think I could be fitter and healthier. I can be better and feel better.’”
Hannah also revealed that she got on anxiety medications to help her reduce her eating. I eat to cope,” she explained adding that going on the medication “really helped me. I don’t have as much anxiety, so I’m not anxiously eating.”
She also tried Ozempic but discovered that the medication wasn’t for her. “I tried Ozempic in the spring. It was the generic version. I don’t know what it’s called, but I tried it for two weeks-ish. And for me, unfortunately, it just made me too sick. I couldn’t do it. It made me nauseous and made me want to vomit. I couldn’t eat food. I was like, ‘I’d rather be heavier than do this.’ But I think it’s an amazing thing. And if it didn’t make me sick, I definitely would’ve taken it, but I just couldn’t.”
Hannah revealed that she doesn’t exactly love exercising, but she described her routine. “I’ll go to Pilates every now and then. I have severe OCD, so I clean a lot, which is kind of like exercise,” she said, adding that she’s cautious about what she eats.
“It’s mainly portion control,” she told the site about her diet. “I didn’t really cut back on what I ate. I’ve done crash diets in the past. They don’t work for me. If I just eat what I normally eat [but] just eat a smaller portion, I’m OK. I try to eat protein. I don’t like cooking meat at home, it grosses me out, so I eat a lot of fish at home. It’s easier. I try to eat proteins and some greens. Thankfully, I’m not a picky eater. But then if I want french fries for dinner, then I’ll have french fries for dinner. I just balance it out.”
Hannah was also really open about her boundaries with setting herself on the scale. ““Weighing yourself, I feel like is such a thing,” she said, taking about the “generational trauma” passed down from parents and grandparents. “I think my mom said that for high graduation, her mom got her a scale. … “I weigh myself every two weeks. I don’t weigh myself any more than that. That’s just to keep track [and] to make sure I’m not going off the wagon.”
“To weigh yourself every day — there’s definitely times when I’ve done it and I have to remember like, ‘Hannah, it’s not about the number and the scale.’ But you do have to keep yourself in check, too,’” she continued.
